The British public pay for the BBC with their license fee! Not big business - not corporates - not billionaires - not political parties. Just every man and woman who has a TV at home. If BBC make a mistake they should apologise - no question. But if Trump sues it is the British public he is suing.

This issue with the BBC - WHY - is this issue from 2024 surfacing now?? Who is at at the back of it? What is their motive? Why can’t we know. The British people - potential tourists to the US are the funders of the CORPORATION - he is having a go at us all!!
